Students in the School of Dentistry, under the close supervision of dental school faculty members, offer dental services within the predoctoral student clinics at a reduced fee in exchange for an extra investment of your time. You don’t have to be part of the UT System or meet any other qualifications to become a patient at our predoctoral teaching clinics, but know that the clinics’ services and hours are limited based on the schedules and learning goals of our student dentists.
To become a patient with our student dentists, you will first go through a screening appointment at one of our student predoctoral practice groups. We perform services based on the types of skills our students are building based on training year and practice. If your dental needs require specialty care, our student clinic will refer you to another clinic within UT Dentistry.
Before you can obtain an appointment for treatment in our student clinics, you must first have a screening appointment. You'll be evaluated during this visit. You will be informed of your potential qualifications and receive a call for an appointment to complete procedures if your dental needs can be served by our practice.
If you only need a tooth extraction at this time, please call the Student Oral Surgery Extraction Clinic at 210-450-3140.
The Student Clinics observe most national holidays as well as additional days for mid-year holiday, Spring Break, and Summer break and are closed during these times.
Our practice is staffed by School of Dentistry students who are gaining practical experience performing procedures. Student dentists are closely supervised by School of Dentistry faculty.
A non-refundable fee is charged for a screening appointment. Payment for procedures is expected at the time of service. If you are accepted as a patient, fees can be paid by cash, check or credit card.
